,N  the  preparation  of  this  volume  which  in- 
cludes all  of  the  publications  of  the  Kelms- 
cott  and  Doves  Presses,  I  desire  to  say  that 
I  have  had  no  part  in  the  work  as  it  is  here- 
in presented.  The  necessary  collations  and 
the  arrangement  of  this  bibliography  have  been  made  by 
my  librarian,  Robert  Ernest  Cowan,  with  the  able  col- 
laboration ofmyjirst  and  second  assistants,  Cora  Edger- 
ton  Sanders  and  Harrison  Post.  In  deep  appreciation  of 
what  they  have  done  I  desire  here  to  express  my  sincere 

obligations.

RINTERS  and  publishers  have  to  earn  their 
living  like  other  men  andneitherthe  one  class 
nor  the  other  has  ever  been  conspicuously  over- 
paid. It  may  fairly  be  said,  indeed,  that  both 
have  shewn  themselves  much  more  ready  to 
cherish  ideals,  and  to  take  moderate  risks  to  put  them  into 
practice,  than  the  average  business  man.  During  the  cen- 
tury (reckoning from  the  various  dates  at  which  printing 
was  introducedinto  different  countries]  in  which  this  ideal- 
ism was  most  fruitful  the  two  businesses  were  generally 
united,  as  they  were  ( save  for  a  few  books  printed  by  Mor- 
ris not  at  his  own  risk]  in  the  case  of  the  two  presses  with 
which  this  book  is  concerned.  In  the  fifteenth  century  the 
number  of  men  who  took  up  printing  not  as  a  means  of 
gaining  a  livelihood,  but  in  order  that  the  books  which  they 
wished  to  see  published  might  be  printed  under  their  own 
eyes  was  very  considerable.  It  was,  indeed,  to  get  a  book  of 
his  own  into  print  and  save  himself  from  overmuch  copy- 
ing that  Caxton  learnt  the  craft  at  Cologne  and  set  up  his 
press  at  Bruges,  and  it  was  to  print  the  books  which  they 
wished  to  see  printed  and  not  for  any  gain  (they  had  to  rely 
on  CardinalRolin  as  a  patron  to  help  to  finance  them]  that 
Fichet  andHeynlyn  set  up  the  first  French  press,  at  Paris 
in  the  Sorbonne,and  summoned  craftsmen  from  Switzer- 
land to  print  their  books. 

In  an  article  in  "Bibliographica* ^ ( III.^^-^^O^An- 
atole  Claudin, despite  some  remonstrances  from  his  editor, 

Cxil 


entitled  Picket  andHeynlyns  venture  a  private  press.  The 
term  private  in  connection  with  printing  usually  intro- 
duces confusion  and  this,  I  still  think^was  an  example  of 
its  misuse.  A  press  does  not  become  a  private  press  merely 
because  it  is  lodged  in  a  private  building,  as  the  Sor bonne 
no  doubt  may  technically  be  reckoned.  Printers  like  other 
craftsmen, have  lived  over  their  workshops  and  may  do  so 
still.  For  a  press  to  be  private  a  double  qualification  seems 
necessary  :  the  books  it  prints  must  not  be  obtainable  by  any 
chance  pur  chaser  who  offers  a  price  for  them  and  the  owner 
must  print  for  his  own  pleasure  and  not  work  for  hire  for 
other  people.  Books  may  be  printed  for  private  circula- 
tion at  any  press,  and  they  may  be  privately  printed  by  any 
printer,  if  he  prints  them  for  himself,  and  not  on  commis- 
sion or  for  sale  ;  but  only  presses  which  do  no  other  work 
than  this  can  be  considered  really  private,and  there  have 
not  been  many  of  them. 

Neither  the  Kelmscott  nor  the  Doves  Press  was  private, 
as  I  have  ventured  to  dejine  privacy  as  applied  to  print- 
ing. The  books  of  both  the  one  and  the  other  by  means  of 
circulars  were  advertised  as  offered  for  sale,andto  the  best 
of  my  belief  no  good  money  was  ever  refused  on  account  of 
the  personal  shortcomings  of  a  would-be  pur  chaser.  Mor- 
ris,moreover,  besides  atjirst  employ  ing  Messrs.  Reeves  and 
Turner  to  sell  his  books, published  "The  Golden  Legend" 
"  The  Recuyellofthe  Historyes  of  Troy  e"  "  The  History  of 
Reynard  the  Foxe"  and"  The  Book  ofVFisdom  and  Lies" 

"[*«] 


through  Mr.  i^uaritch,and  other  books  through  the  own- 
ers or  renters  of  the  copyrights,vi%.:  'Tennyson  s  "Maud" 
through  Messrs.  Macmillan,  Ruskin  s  "  The  Nature  of 
Gothic"  through  Mr.  George  Allen,  and  the  two  volumes 
of  Rossett?  s  poems  through  Messrs.  Ellis  and  Elvey.  He 
also  printed  a  special  edition  ofRossettis  "Hand and  Soul" 
for  Messrs.  W^ay  and  Williams  of  Chicago,  also  a  letter 
of  Savonarola  s  for  Mr.  Fairfax  Murray  to  give  to  his 
friends.  He  also  did,  and  did  most  delightfully,  some  little 
bits  of  glorified j  obbing  work.  Thus  there  are  in  existence 
two  several  forms  of  invitation  to  the  annual  gathering 
of  the  Hammersmith  Socialist  Society, a  four-page  leaflet 
for the  Ancoats Brother  hood,  an  address  to  SirLowthian 
Bell  from  his  work-people,  a  form  of  invitation  to  the  un- 
veiling of  a  bust  of  Keats,  a  slip  giving  the  text  of  a  me- 
morial tablet  to  Dr.  Thomas  Sadler,  scholar  ship  certifi- 
cates for  the  Technical  Education  Board  of  the  L,ondon 
County  Council,anda  card  for  Associates  oftheDeaconess 
Institution  for  the  Diocese  of  Rochester.  For  at  least  some 
of  these  Morris  was  presumably  paid,  and  if  any  friend 
on  the  score  of  them  had  chaffed  him  with  being  a  jobbing 
printer,  lam  sure  that  he  would  have  taken  it  as  a  compli- 
ment to  his  wholesome  freedom  from  affectation.  No  doubt 
if  some  rash  per  son  had  walked  into  Kelmscott  House  and 
asked  Morris  to  give  an  estimate  for  printing  a  book  which 
Morris  did  not  like,  that  rash  per  son  would  have  received 
a  short  answer.  Still  the  fact  remains  that  if  (contrary 


to  thepr  esent  writer  s  opinion]  privacy  confers  any  special 
distinction  on  a  press,  the  Kelmscott  Press  must  be  held  to 
have  forfeited  this  distinction  on  two  grounds,  sales  to  the 
public  and  working f or  hire,and  the  Doves  Press  on  that 
of  its  sales. 

The  real  virtue  in  both  printing  and  publishing  lies  not 
in  privacy ',  but  in  the  vision  of  an  ideal  and  its  attain- 
ment ^despite  of  difficulties  and,  it  may  be,pecuniary  loss  ; 
and  this  virtue  is  visible  in  every  book  of  both  these  presses, 
whether  we  regard  them  on  their  publishing  side,  or  typo- 
graphically.Both  alike  printed  the  books  which  their  own- 
ers thought  ought  to  be  printed  and  none  others  (though 
perhaps  now  and  again  Morris  was  content  to  see  a  book 
through  the  eyes  of  his  friend,  Mr.  F.  S.  Ellis]  and  both 
printers  alike  printed  them  in  what  they  considered  the 
best  manner  and,  once  again,  in  none  other. 

On  the  publishing  side  disinterested  adventure  has  never 
wholly  died  out,  though  after  the  first  century  of  printing 
( as  dejined  above]  it  became  much  less  common.  The  great 
scholar  printers  of  the  sixteenth  century,  Aldus  Manutius 
and  his  successors  and  the  Estiennes, found  few  andunad- 
venturous followers,  and  the  private  patrons  of  printing, 
who  relieved  a  printer  of  any  fear  of  loss  if  he  printed  a  book 
they  liked,  also  became  rarer.  In  England,  where  every- 
thing tended  to  happen  a  little  later  than  on  the  continent, 
John  Day  and  other  careful  printers  found  a  good  friend 
inArchbishopParkerandrepaidhim  with  excellent  work. 

[xiv] 


Some  forty  years  later  Sir  Henry  Savile  hired  a  London 
printer  to  come  to  work  for  him  at  Eton  in  producing  a 
Jine  edition  of  the  works  of  Saint  Chrysostom,the first  im- 
portant contribution  to  scholar  ship  published  in  England. 
Later  in  the  seventeenth  century  Archbishop  Laud,  Lord 
Clarendon,  and  Bishop  Fell  all  helped  the  Oxford  Uni- 
versity Press  and  thus  laid  the  foundations  from  which 
it  has  risen  to  the  position,which  I  think  may  be  claimed 
for  it,  of  the  premier  press  of  the  world,  a  position  nobly 
consolidated  in  the  last  forty  years  by  its  production  of  the 
great  Oxford  English  dictionary.  But  there  have  been 
few  imitators  of  the  example  thus  set, and  this  not  merely 
in  England  but  in  any  country, even  in  the  United  States, 
where  the  wealth  which  in  England  is  too  often  mainly 
devoted  to  founding  a  family  is  so  munificent  in  its  bene- 
factions to  education.  This  is  a  pity, as  the  work  of  a  great 
press,  not  tied  down  to  getting  back  its  capital  (with  or 
without  interest,  in  whole  or  in  part]  in  too  short  a  period, 
is  in  its  own  way  as  far-reaching  as  that  of  a  great  uni- 
versity. Indeed  to  train  men  as  scholars  and  then  to  leave 
it  impossible  for  them  to  get  the  results  of  their  scholarship 
into  print  is  the  climax  of  the  educational  thoughtlessness 
which  too  lightly  equips  men  and  women  for  activities  they 
are  never  likely  to  have  a  chance  of  exercising,  however 
great  their  capacity. 

The  dying  out  of  patrons  of  the  press  was  to  some  extent 
made  good  by  the  development  of  the  system  of  private  pat- 

[XV] 


ronage  of  individual  authors^  a  system  fraught  with  hu- 
miliation to  the  patronized  and  indirectly  injurious  to 
every  author  trying  to  make  a  living  by  his pen ,  but  which 
lasted  till  the  very  end  of  the  eighteenth  century.  IFith 
Minsheu  s  "Ductorin  Linguas:  the  Guide  to  the  Tongues" 
oj l6lj ',  we  have  thejirst  example  of  the  diffused  patron- 
age of  the  subscription  edition^  of  which  persons  likely  to 
be  interested^or  willing  to  help  the  author  ^  are  invited  to 
pledge  themselves  to  take  one  or  more  copies  when  published^ 
and  frequently  to  pay  for  them^  wholly  or  in  part^  in  ad- 
vance^mostly  with  the  inducement  of  a  promise  that  their 
names  shall  be  found  printed  in  the  volume  when  it  ap- 
pears. Subscription  books  are  still  with  us  ^though  they  play 
a  much  less  prominent  part  in  literary  life  than  they  did 
when  Dryden  s" Virgil"  Prior  s"  Poems  on  Several  Oc- 
casions" and  the  Edinburgh  edition  of  Burns  were  used 
as  the  means  of  presenting  handsome  testimonials  to  their 
authors.  As  regards  some  classes  of  more  or  less  learned 
works  the  place  of  subscription  editions  has  been  taken  by 
publishing  societies •,  the  members  of  which  mostly  accept  a 
certain  number  of  books  which  they  do  not  want  as  a  condi- 
tion of  obtaining  those  which  they  do.  By  such  expedients 
any  book  which  two  or  three  hundred  per  sons  are  conscious 
ofwanting^which  some  one  else  is  willing  and  able  to  pro- 
duce^  and  which  will  cost  not  much  more  than  jive  hun- 
dred pounds  for  print  and  paper  ^stands  a  very  fair  chance 
nowadays  of  coming  into  existence.  But  the  machinery 

[xvi] 


is  very  cumbrous  and  the  results  seldom  strikingly  good. 
W^illiam  Morris  ^  when  he  desired  to  print  in  the  way  he 
thought  best  some  half  hundred  books  by  himself  or  by  au- 
thors he  admired^  had  recourse  to  none  of  these  shifts.  He 
was  used  to  managing  a  business  and  had  some  capital 
at  his  command  and  the  well-founded  self-confidence  of  a 
great  craftsman^  and  so  he  started  printing  in  the  belief 
that  there  would  be  enough  book-lovers  who  would  share 
his  tastes  to  protect  his  enterprise  from  disaster.  In  case 
anyone  should  think  that  the  enterprise  was  easy^  it  is  in- 
teresting to  remember  that  Ruskin  had  preceded  Morris 
in  publishing  his  own  books ^  and  a  few  other -s,  in  the  style 
he  thought  good  and  had  made  but  a  poor  success  of  his  es- 
says in  book-production.  Ruskin  was  a  critic  rather  than  a 
craftsman^and though  hepreached  beautifully 'about  books 
he  could  not  have  had  much  feeling  for  them^as  books ,  or  he 
would  not  have  mutilated  his  thirteenth  century  Beaupre 
Antiphoner  ( despite  its  pretty  appeal  to  future  possessors 
to  take  good  care  of  it]  and  similar  treasures  by  cutting  out 
leaves  from  them  to  give  away.  When  he  caused  his  own 
works  to  beprintedunderhis  supervision  in  the  ^seventies  of 
the  last  century  his  lack  of  feeling  for  book-craft  betrayed  it- 
self in  margins  wrongly  distributed^  a  type-page  seamed 
with  excessivespacesbetween  thelinesjitle-pageswhichtease 
the  eyes  by  their  lack  of  concentration  andrestfulness^  and 
a  binding  in  full  purple  calf^now  usually  found  scratched^ 
rubbed^andpeeling^and faded  to  an  ugly  bluish  gray. 

[  xvii  ] 


Morris  could  not  have  made  such  mistakes  as  those  in 
which  Ruskin  acquiesced^because  he  was  not  only  a  great 
craftsman  but  an  expert, trained  not  to  accept  any  modern 
standards  ofbookwork  without  testing  them  by  those  set  up 
by  the  old  books  he  loved^andtoowaryto  use  materials  with- 
out making  sure  that  they  were  sound.  It  is  only  fair, how- 
ever,to  remember  that  he  had  from  thejirst  the  advantage 
of  the  technical  advice  of  Mr.  Emery  Walker, whose  part 
in  the  development  of Jine  print  ing  in  England  can  hardly 
beover-emphasi%ed.lt  is  indeed  from  Mr.  Walker  s  article 
on  printing  in  the  Catalogue  of  thejirst  Arts  and  Crafts 
Exhibition, held  at  the  "New  Gallery"  in  the  autumn  of 
1 888,  that  the  whole  development  must  be  dated.  It  is  true 
that  long  before  this,  so  Mr.  S.  C.  Cocker  ell  tells  us  in  his 
"Short  History  and  Description  of  the  Kelmscott  Press" 
(appended to  Morrises  own  "Note"  on  the  Press), Morris 
had planned,illustrated,and  decorated  editions  of  two  of 
his  own  works,  but  without  bringing  them  to  the  point  of 
appearance.  Mr.  Cocker  ell  writes: 

"As  early  as  1866  an  edition  of'  The  Earthly  Paradise'  was  pro- 
jected, which  was  to  have  been  a  folio  in  double  columns, profusely  illus- 
trated by  Sir  Edward  Burne- Jones,  and  typographically  superior  to 
the  books  of  that  time.  The  designs  for  the  stories  of'  Cupid  and  Psyche,' 
'Pygmalion  and  the  Image]  the '  Ring  given  to  Venus,'  and  the  'Hill 
of  Venus  J  were  finished,  and  forty-four  of  those  for  'Cupid  and  Psyche* 
were  engraved  on  wood  in  line  somewhat  in  the  manner  of  the  early  Ger- 
man masters.  About  thirty -five  of  the  blocks  were  executed  by  William 
Morris  himself . .  . .  Specimen  pages  were  set  up  in  C  ax  ton  type  and  in 
the  Chiswick  Press  type  afterwards  used  in  the  'House  of  the  Wolfing*] 

[  xviii  ] 


but  for  various  reasons  the  project  'went  no  further.  Four  or  five  years 
later  there  was  a  plan  for  an  illustrated  edition  of 'Love  is  Enough ' 
for  which  two  initial  Us  and  seven  side  ornaments  were  drawn  and 
engraved  by  William  Morris.  Another  marginal  ornament  was  en- 
graved by  him  from  a  design  by  Sir  E.  Burne- Jones,  who  also  drew 
a  picture  for  the  frontispiece,  which  has  now  been  engraved  by  W.  H. 
Hooper for  the final page  of  the  Kelmscott  Press  edition  of  the  work. 
These  side  ornaments  are  more  delicate  than  any  that  were  designed  for 
the  Kelmscott  Press,  but  they  shew  that  when  the  Press  was  started 
the  idea  of  reviving  some  of  the  decorative  features  of  the  earliest  printed 
books  had  been  long  in  the  Founder 's  mind." 

It  has  not  been  my  good  fortune  to  see  the  specimen  pages 
of"  The  Earthly  Paradise ' '  in  C ax  ton  andChiswick  Press 
types  of  which  Mr.  Cocker  ell  writes.  If  copies  of  them  exist 
it  would  be  interesting  to  know  whether  Morris  in  them 
kept  wholly  clear  of  the  bad  contemporary  influences  to 
which  Ruskin  succumbed.  That  any  work  he  did  would 
have  been  "typographically  superior  to  the  books  of  that 
time"  goes  without  saying.  But  the  difficulty  of  breaking 
away  from  the  tyranny  of  accustomed  forms  isvery  great* 
and  it  would  be  surprising  if  Morris  gained  his  freedom 
at  a  bound.  During  the  busy  years  which  separated  early 
experiments  from  performance  he  hadnot  only  studiedjine 
manuscripts  but  had  written  them  himself ,  and  in  1 8 88 

* After  the  success  of  the  Kelmscott  books  I  the  points  in  which  individual  characters  dif- 

had  a  curious  proof  of  this  in  the  behaviour  of  feredfrom  the  types  to  which  the  enquirers  were 

a  little  stream  of  would-be  fine  printers  who  used  would  be  picked  out  one  after  the  other  as 

came  to  me  at  the  British  Museum  asking  to  blots  which  it  would  be  well  to  eliminate.  The 

be  shewn  fifteenth  century  types  which  could  be  enquirers  seemed  to  desire  that  the  whole  should 

used  as  models  for  new  founts.  The  result  was  be  differ  ent,whileallthe  component  parts  should 

almost  invariably  the  same.  The  general  effect  be  assimilated  to  the  types  to  which  they  were 

of  the  old  pages  was  warmly  admired,  and  then  accustomed. 

[xix] 


was  beginning  to  buy  the  specimens  of  fifteenth  century 
printing  and  book-decoration  in  which  he  found  useful 
suggestions,  rather  than  models ',  when  he  came  to  print. 

The  first  results  of  the  Arts  and  Crafts  Exhibition  of 
1 88 8,  and  of  the  communings  with  Mr.  Walker  to  which 
it  gave  rise,  were  three  new  editions:  ( 1 )  Morris's  "  The 
House  of  the  Wolfings"  in  the  special  type  "modelled  on  an 
old  Basel  fount"  which  had  been  used  for  one  of  the  speci- 
men pages  of  the  proposed  edition  of  "The  Earthly  Para- 
dise" in  1866;  (2)  "The  Roots  of  the  Mountains"  (the 
finest  of  Morris"*  s  prose  romances]  in  the  same  type,with 
some  small  improvements;  (3)  the  translation  of  the 
"Gunnlaug  Saga"  in  a  type  imitated  from  one  of  C ax- 
ton  s  founts  ^with  spaces  left,  in  Caxton's  manner, for  the 
capital  initials  to  be  supplied  by  hand.  All  these  were 
printed  at  the  Chiswick  Press  and  represented  a  substan- 
tial advance  on  the  best  nineteenth  century  work  that  had 
yet  been  done;  but  Morris  was  now  determined  to  have  a 
press  of  his  own  and  though  unable  to  persuade  Mr.  Walker 
to  go  into  partnership  with  him  as  a  printer,  was  sure  of 
his  enthusiastic  support. 

Morris  did  not  print  all  the  books  he  wished  to  print.  A 
projectedFroissartandaprojectedShakespearewerefrus- 
tratedbyhis  death  and  at  an  ear  Her  stage  a  proposal  to  re- 
print the  fifteenth  century  "Lives  of  the  Fathers"  ("  Vitas 
Patrum"  as  book-lovers  call  them,  with  an  affectionate 
retention  of  the  accusative  case,  which,  like  the  genitive, 

[XX]         '  . 


sometimes  makes  an  ungrammatical  appearance  in  me- 
dieval titles]  elicited  so  few  promises  of  support  that  it  was 
abandoned.  It  is  probable,  too,  that  of  the  fifty -three  books 
which  were  ultimately  placed  to  his  credit  many  were  out- 
side any  programme  with  which  he  started.  But  the  books 
which  he  printed  in  those  wonderful  six  years  of  work  fall 
into  a  few  fairly  well  defined  classes,  and  we  must  think  of 
him  primarily  as  a  lover  of  poems  and  romances  and  old 
chronicles, who  designed  types  and  ornaments  to  fit  the  books 
he  wanted  to  print.  Many  of  his  imitators  searched  first  for 
a  fine  type  and  then  looked  about  for  books  to  print  with  it. 
But  Morris  was  impelled  to  print, as  C ax  ton  was  impelled, 
by  the  desire  to  get  definite  books  set  up  in  type  of  his  own 
making.  Caxton,indeed,hadanticipatedmany  of  Morris's 
tastes  and  something  of  his  temper,— but  was  very  unlike 
him  as  a  craftsman  ! 

Of  the  fifty-three  books  issued  from  the  Kelmscott  Press 
twenty-two  were  written  or  translated  by  Morris  himself; 
five  were  reprints  of  books  first  printed  by  C  ax  ton;  the 
splendid  Chaucer  and  its  appendix, "  The  Floure  and  the 
Leafe"  and  other  Chauceriana,  with  the  three-verse  ro- 
mances from  the  Thornton  manuscript,makeupfivemore; 
then  we  have  two  Latin  devotional  books  ("P salmi  Peni- 
tentiales"  and  "Laudes  Beat  aeMariae  Virginis"};  eight 
"modern  "  books  with  the  choosing  as  well  as  the  editing 
of  which  Mr.  F.  S.  Ellis  probably  had  a  good  deal  to  do

Georgian  stories  called"  The  Book  of  Wisdom  and  Lies" 
and  the  two  trial  pages  ofFroissart's  "  Chronicles"  as  the 
odd  three. 

As  was  natural,  Morris  took  it  for  granted  that  he  must 
start  with  a  Roman  type,  andhisjirst  seven  books  were  all 
printed  in  this,  including  two  which,according  to  a  scheme 
he  seems  afterwards  to  have  worked  out,  should  have  been 
in  small  Gothic.  These  are  Caxton  s  "Golden  Legend" 
from  which  the  Roman  type  was  rather  inappropriately 
dubbed  "Golden"  and  Morris's  own  prose  romance,"The 
Story  of  the  Glittering  Plain"  thejirst  book  from  the 
Press.  If^ith  these  two  exceptions  books  with  old  subjects, 
or  written  before  the  close  of  the  fifteenth  century,  were 
printed  in  Gothic  types,  the  sizes  from  small  quarto  to 
sexto-decimo,  with  the  double  columned  folios  of  Chaucer 
and  the  intended  Froissart,  in  small  Gothic  ("Chaucer" 


type],  and  in  larger  Gothic  ten  large  quartos,  vi%.:  "  'The 
Recuyell  of  the  History es  of  Troye"  (whence  the  type  s 
name, "  Troy  "  type '),  Caxton  s  "Reynard  the  Foxe"  C ax- 
ton  s  "  Godefrey  of  Eoloyne"  the  second  edition  of"  The 
Story  of  the  Glittering  Plain1  with  Walter  Crane  s  illus- 
trations ^  Swinburne  s  "Atalanta  in  Calydon"  Morris }  s 
own  version  of  "Beowulf"  his  "Life  and  Death  of  Ja- 
son" the  "L,audesBeataeMariaeVirginis"  "The  Flour  e 
and  the  Leafe"  and  "Love  is  Enough"  All  the  modern 
books ,  including  Morrises  "Poems  by  the  Way"  "  The  De- 
fence ofGuenevere  and  other  poems"  and  "The  Earthly 
Paradise"  are  in  Roman  type;  his  prose  romances  (after 
thejirst  edition  of  "The  Glittering  Plain" }  in  Chaucer 
type.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Morris  used  his  Troy  type 
for  the  two  classical  subjects, "Atalanta  in  Calydon"  and 
"yason"  Perhaps  he  took  the  medieval  view  of  Greek 
legend  and  classed  them  roughly  with  the  romances. 

It  will  be  seen  that  Morris  s  three  types  served  for  all, 
or  very  nearly  all,  his  needs.  He  talked  at  times  of  having 
the  Golden  type  cut  in  a  larger  size,  and  to  have  done  this 
would  have  enabled  him  to  give  to  some  of  his  modern  books 
the  dignity  of  large  quarto,  and  have  supplied  a  conve- 
nient type  for  headings.  But  he  got  on  very  well  with  his 
three  types  and  his  best  English  successors  have  been  eco- 
nomically content  with  one  apiece. 

As  to  the  technical  history  of  these  types  there  is  nothing 
much  to  add  to  Mr.  Cocker  ell '  s  notes  on  t hem,  save  per - 

[  xxiii  ] 


haps  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  Morris did  not  imitate  his 
fifteenth  century  models  at  all  closely.  It  must  be  said  also 
that  he  was  singularly  fortunate  in  his  punch-cutter,  Mr. 
Prince.  At  the  risk  of  perhaps  seeming  fanciful  I  am  im- 
pelled to  add  that  the  most  remarkable  feature  of  all  three 
types ,  in  my  personal  experience  of  them, is  that  they  are  not 
only  beautiful  but  (to  use  the  best  word  I  can  hit  on]  de- 
lightfully "friendly"  "The fact  may  be  disguised  from  those 
who  are  so  unaccustomed  to  Gothic  andBlack-letter  char- 
acters of  any  kind  that  any  fount  of  such  type  inevitably 
seems  to  them  strange  and  for  ma  I.  But  to  those  who  are  at 
all  used  to  old  types  Morris's  Gothic, whether  in  its  smaller 
size  or  larger,  Chaucer  or  Troy,  must  surely  seem  jollier 
and  more  delightful  even  than  the  old  types  they  love  best, 
but  (to  use  the  other  word  which  is  the  best  I  can  find  to 
express  my  meaning)  not  at  all " ceremonial" 

Morris  did  not  print  books  as  so  many  testimonials  to 
the  respect  or  reverence  in  which  he  regarded  them  or  their 
authors.  He  printed  long  books, many  of  them  story  hooks 
which  he  lovedreading  himself  and  which  he  wanted  other 
people  to  have  the  pleasure  of  reading  in  jolly  editions. 
The  fifty-three  books  he  printed,  or  planned  to  print,  are 
a  II  eminently  readable.  There  are  still  some  of  them  I  have 
not  read,  but  I  look  forward  to  a  leisure  time  in  which  I 
shall  make  good  my  omissions,  though  it  is  possible  I  may 
find  my  self  wishing  that  Mr.  F.  S.  Ellis  had  been  content 
with  a  single  volume  of  the  best  of  Shelley  (instead  of  three 

[  xxiv  ] 


volumes  of  all  his  poems ),  as  he  was  content  with  single 
volumes  ofHerrick  and  Coleridge.  But,  with  this  one  ex- 
ception^ to  anyone  who  cares  at  all  for  poetry  and  romance 
the  Kelmscott  books  are  extraordinarily  attractive,  and 
the  beautiful  types,  while  they  inspire  a  sub-conscious 
pleasure,  do  not  divert  my  attention  from  the  text. 

On  the  other  hand  the  types  which  I  class  as  ceremonial, 
the  finest  of  which, the  Jinest  ceremonial  type  ever  cut,  is 
the  perfected  Jenson  of  the  Doves  Press,  do  divert  my 
attention.  It  is  very  important  to  have  good  ceremonial 
types.  It  is  very  important  to  have  a  genius  for  ceremonial 
such  as  is  possessed  by  most  other  European  nations,  but 
does  not  thrive  easily  in  the  atmosphere  of  the  British 
Isles.  But  ceremony,  though  quite  admirable  in  its  place 
and  season, is  apt  to  become  frigid  if  too  prolonged, and  I 
must  confess  to  being  unable  to  read  more  than  twenty  or 
thirty  pages  in  the  Doves  Press  type  without  feeling  per- 
ceptibly chilled.  It  was  a  stroke  of  genius  on  the  part  of 
Messrs.  JFalker  and  Sander  son, or  whichever  of  them  first 
had  the  idea,  to  dissipate  this  frigidity,  with  the  daring 
and  magnificently  successful  red  capitals  which  werejirst 
used,  if  I  am  not  mistaken,  in  their  reprint  of  Milton  s 
"  Paradise  Lost"  W^ith  Morris1  s  types  red  ink  is  almost 
a  superfluity :  they  are  so  rich  and  hospitable  themselves 
that  red  adds  little  to  them,  is  sometimes  indeed  mainly  use- 
ful, not  in  heightening  the  glow  of  a  page,  but  in  moder- 
ating it, an  effect  still  more  noticeable  in  the  case  of  the  blue 

[  XXV  ] 


capitals  which  appear  in  the  "LaudesBeataeMariae  Vir- 
ginis"  and  "Love  is  Enough" 

The  splendour  of  Morris's  borders  and  large  initial  cap- 
itals,more  especially  of  the  capitals  in  the  Chaucer  which 
contain  a  whole  word,  is  too  self-evident  for  a  plain  man 
to  wish  to  enlarge  on  it.  Morris's  o  Id  friend, Dr. F.J. Fur - 
nivall,usedto  regret  that  Morris,  who  was  pre-eminently 
a  "thirteenth  century  man"  had  not  followed thirteenth 
century  models  in  his  book  building  and  invented  lighter 
and  gayer  ornaments.  It  is  true  that  Morris's  decoration 
is,  now  and  again,  too  black  and  massive  for  his  Golden 
type  and  that  Mr.  Jf^H.  Hooper  s  renderings  of  the  deli- 
cate drawings  of  Sir  Edward  Burne-J ones  tend  at  times 
to  be  over-heavy.  But  Morris  had  the  need  for  harmoniz- 
ing his  capitals  and  borders  with  the  tones  of  his  different 
types  constantly  in  his  mind, and  he  was  certainly  wise  in 
not  attempting  to  translate  thirteenth  century  illumina- 
tions,with  their  glory  of  varied  colour,  into  the  black  and 
white  (orblack,white,andred]  of  a  printed  book.  He  was 
content  to  set  himself  to  match  thejifteenth  century  printers 
and  woodcutters  and  he  beat  them  easily  on  their  own 
ground,  just  as  a  Doves  Press  book  easily  and  decisively 
excels  any  that  Nicolasjenson  ever  printed.  Apart  from 
thecharm  that  comes  from  freshness  andexperiment, apart 
also  from  the  profusion  of  capitals  hand-painted  in  blue 
and  red  (the  more  ambitiously  coloured  letters  seldom  at- 
tain the  standard  of  good  manuscripts]  that  light  up  so 

[  xxvi  ] 


many  of  the  German  books  and  a  few  others  in  the  first 

thirty  or  forty  years  of  printing,  it  is  not  in  the  books  of  the 

fifteenth  century  it  self, but  in  those  of  these  two  presses  that 

we  see  fifteenth  century  ideals  carried  to full 'attainment. 

Most  readers  are  very  conservative  as  to  the  form  of  the 
books  they  use.This  conservatism  didnotfailto  assert  itself 
in  respect  of  Morris  s  revolution  in  the  ideals  of  modern 
printing,buthissuccesswas  both  quick  and  great.  During 
his  six  years  work,  books  came  from  his  press  at  the  rate  of 
seven  a  year, some  in  more  than  one  volume.  "The  pace  was 
inconveniently  fast  for  his  less  wealthy  disciples, but  it  was 
wonderfully  exciting  to  have  a  new  Kelmscott  book  ap- 
pearing every  other  month  or  of tener, and  Morris  died  at 
the  very  height  of  his  success,  when  the  great  Chaucer  was 
being  acclaimed  for  what  it  is,  the  finest  book  in  its  style 
that  has  ever  been  printed. 

Morris  s  success  naturally  attracted  imitators  and  put 
new  heart,  and  also  new  ideas,  into  the  few  adventurers 
who  were  already  experimenting  with  print  and  paper. 
"The  story  of  these  other  presses  is  well  told  and  well  illus- 
trated in  one  of  the  Riccardi  Press  books, "  *The  Revival 
of  Printing"  a  bibliographical  catalogue  of  works  issued 
by  the  chief  modern  English  presses,  with  an  introduction 
by  Robert  Steele  (1912).  Herbert  Home  and  Professor 
Selwyn  Image  had  been  experimenting  in  the  "  Century 
Guild  Hobbyhorse  "  and  had  been  already  helped  to  get 
closer  to  their  ideals  by  Mr.  Emery  Walker, who  has  helped 

[  xxvii  ] 


most  of  those  who  have  experimented  with  any  success  in 
printing  during  the  last  thirty  years.  Mr.  Home,  a  slow, 
fastidious  worker ',  with  most  admirable  good  taste  and 
much  patient  skill,  subsequently  produced  three  Roman 
founts  of  real  beauty,  a  Montallegro  type  for  Mr.  Up- 
dike s  Merry  mount  Press  at  Boston  ( 1 904.}, the  Florence 
type  for  Messrs.  Chatto  and  IVindus  (ipoy),  the  Ric- 
cardi  type  for  the  Riccardi  Press  (ipop) .  Professor  Sel- 
wyn  Image  designed  a  Greek  type  for  Messrs. Macmillan, 
not  wholly  successful,  but  in  a  style  which  should  have 
secured  for  it  a  better  welcome  than  it  received.  Another 
enthusiast,  already  at  work  when  Morris  started,  Mr. 
Charles  Ricketts,  had  been  content  to  use  Caslon  types  at 
his  Vale  Press,  but  in  1896  designed  an  excellent  round 
Roman,  called  after  his  press,  Vale  type,  with  which  he 
printed  quite  a  long  series  of  pleasantly  decorated  books. 
He  subsequently  produced  an  "Avon"  Roman  type  (also 
good], and  a  Kings  type  in  which  minuscule  and  majus- 
cule forms  are  mixed  as  in  L,atin  half-uncials,  but  with  a 
good  deal  less  harmony  between  them  than  the  sixth-cen- 
tury scribes  had  enforced.  Mr.  St.^ohn  Hornby,  after  ex- 
periments with  Caslon  and  Fell  types  became  possessed 
(with  the  help  of  Messrs.  Emery  IValker  and S.  C.  Cock- 
er  ell  and  of  Morris  s  punch-cutter, Mr. Prince]  of  a  most 
beautiful  Gothic  fount  modeled  on  the  Subiaco  type  of 
Sweynheym  and  Pannartx.  This  had  been  much  beloved 
by  Morris,  who  himself  had  tried  to  adapt  it,  but  could 

[  xxviii  ] 


not  please  himself.  Beginning  with  a  delightful  edition  of 
Dante  s  "Inferno"  in  1902,  Mr.  Hornby  has  printed  in 
this  type  at  his  Ashendene  Press  a  series  of  charming  and 
stately  books,  including  a  complete  Dante,  which  demand 
a  dissertation  to  themselves.  Robert  Proctor  ^again  with 
the  help  of  Mr.  Weather  and  Mr.  Prince,  based  on  an  in- 
complete Greek  fount  (lacking  some  majuscules]  used  for 
the  New  Testament  in  the  Complutensian  Polyglott  his 
Otter  type,  incomparably  the  Jinest  Greek  fount  yet  de- 
signed, but  (alas)  only  saw  it  himself  in  a  trial  sheet  of 
majuscules  and  in  proofs  of  an  "Oresteia"  which  was  com- 
pleted and  issued  after  his  death  in  1904.. 

As  to  the  effect  of  Morris's  example  in  the  United  States, 
I  write  as  one  afar  off  and  fear  to  venture  on  dates.  Mr. 
Updike,  I  think,  was  the  earliest  American  experimenter 
in  the jield  and  soon  developed  the jine  electicism  and  craft- 
mans/lip  which  lend  distinction  to  all  the  work  of  his 
Merry  mount  Press.  Of  Mr.  Bruce  Rogers,  I  have  already 
written  more  than  once  as  one  of  the  Jinest  printers  who 
have  ever  lived,  and  with  a  very  special  gift  for  working, 
in  the  style  of  any  country  or  period  in  which  the  book  to 
be  reprinted  originally  belonged,  and  get  ting  at  the  heart 
of  that  style.  Both  Mr.  Updike  and  Mr.  Rogers  take  their 
ideals  rather  from  the  best  work  after  I ^OO  than  from  that 
ofthejirst  printers.  Mr.  Rogers,  indeed,  in  the  latest  ex- 
amples of  his  printing  I  have  seen,  has  eclipsed  Robert  Es- 
tienne  on  his  own  ground,  much  as  the  Doves  Press  has 

[  xxix  ] 


eclipsed  Nicolas  Jenson.  But  while  their  ideals  thus  differ 
from  those  of  Morris,  there  can  be  little  doubt  that  his  suc- 
cess created  their  opportunity.  A  third  American  printer 
whose  work  I  know  and  admire ,  Mr.  Clarke  Conwell,  at 
his  ILlston  Press  at  New  Rochelle, produced  some  charm- 
ing books  both  in  Roman  and  Black-letter,  alike  unpreten- 
tious and  very  pleasant  to  read,  and,  I  should  think,would 
probably  be  content  to  reckon  himself  a  disciple  of  Morris. 

The  best  of  the  presses  here  mentioned  have  achieved  no- 
table successes  and  I  think  it  is  fair  to  claim  that  none  of 
them  would  have  done  so, few  of  them,  indeed,  would  have 
come  into  existence,hadnot  Morris  shown  what  might  yet 
be  made  of  print  ing  and  also  proved  that  there  was  a  suf- 
jicient  mar  ket f or jinely  printed  books  for  their  production, 
at  least  on  a  small  scale, to  be  commercially  possible. 

Much  was  thus  done  by  others  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlan- 
tic to  carry  out  the  ideals  of  Jine printing  to  which  Morris 
had  opened  the  eyes  of  book-lovers  ;  yet  in  a  very  special 
sense  the  Doves  Press  which  began  work  in  1901, five 
years  after  his  death,  was  the  true  heir  of  his  invention. 
Most  of  the  other  English  experimenters  have  tried  to  do 
what  Morris  did,  and  have  done  it,  sometimes  admirably 
well,  sometimes  badly.  Messrs.  W^alker  and  Sanderson 
showed  themselves  strong  enough  to  carry  out  Morris '  s 
ideals  on  independent  lines;  they  supplement  his  work 
rather  than  compete  with  it.  They  showed  their  strength 
at  the  outset  by  recognizing  their  limitations. They  thought 

xxx 


that  they  could  not  themselves  produce^  or  find  any  one  else 
to  produce )  ornament  as  good  as  Morris  s  and,  therefore^ 
they 'began  by 'discarding  ornament altogether.  In  the  same 
spirit^  instead  of  essaying  the  difficult  task  of  evolving  a 
homogeneous  type  out  of  hints  and  impressions  gainedfrom 
studying  sever  a  I  fifteenth  century  models •,  they  took  a  sin- 
gle type,  the  Roman  fount  usedbyNicolasJenson^  the  first 
in  craftsmanship^  hough  not  in  time  of  the  early  Venetian 
pr  inter  S)  and  gave  this  a  perfection  of  form  such  asjenson 
was  never  able  to  attain^just  as  under  Mr.  Walker  s  in- 
fluence and  with  Mr.  Prince  as  their  punch-cut ter,  Mr. 
St.  John  Hornby  and  Mr.  Proctor  respectively  developed 
the  Subiaco  Gothic  and  the  Complutensian  Greek  into 
founts  which  far  surpassed  their  respective  originals.  Of 
the  splendid  success  of  the  introduction  of  the  daring  red 
capitals  which  make  the  first  two  pages  of  their  text  of 
"Paradise  Lost"  one  of  the  most  effective  "openings"  in  all 
book-craft,  something  has  already  been  said.  With  a  sin- 
gle type  and  no  other  decoration  than  red  printing  and 
occasionally  red  capitals,  the  books  are  classic  in  their  sim- 
plicity and  each  one  (with  the  possible  exception  of  the  five 
volume  Bible  ^  a  splendid  book,  which  yet  hardly  justifies 
the  endless  pains  bestowed  on  it]  is, per  haps, primarily  to 
be  looked  on  as  a  testimonial  to  some  great  writer.  Thus  in 
his  "Catalogue  Raisonne"  of  1 908,  Mr.  Cobden- San- 
der son  writes: 

"  To-day  there  is  an  immense  reproduction  in  an  admirable  cheap  form, 

[  xxxi ] 


of  all  Books  which ,  in  any  language,  have  stood  the  test  of  time.  But  such 
reproduction  is  not  a  substitute  for  the  more  monumental  production  of 
the  same  works,  and  whether  by  the  Doves  Press  or  some  other  press  or 
presses,  such  monumental  production,  expressive  of  man's  admiration, 
is  a  legitimate  ambition  and  a  public  duty.  Great  thoughts  deserve, and 
demand,  a  great  setting,  whether  in  building,  sculpture,  ceremonial  or 
otherwise;  and  the  great  works  of  literature  have  again  and  again  to 
be  set  forth  informs  suitable  to  their  magnitude.  And  this  it  is  the  busi- 
ness of  the  Printing  Press  to  undertake  and  achieve" 

The  ideal  here  set  forth  is  a  worthy  one,  worthily  ex- 
pressed." Such  monumentalproduction,expressive  of  mans 
admiration,  />"  as  Mr.  Sanderson  asserts,  "a  legitimate 
ambition  and  a  public  duty"  and  for  this  high  ceremonial 
in  book-form  it  is  difficult  to  conceive  any  type  morejitted 
in  its  graceful  and  clean-cut  strength  than  that  which  has 
been  usedforjlawless  tributes  of  reverence  to  Shakespeare, 
Milton  and  Goethe,  to  Wordsworth,  Tennyson  and  Brown- 
ing, ILmerson,  Carlyle  and  Ruskin,  William  Caxton  and 
William  Morris. 

What  has  been  the  result  on  others  of  Morris  s  six  years 
adventure  in  the  craft  of  printing?  Perhaps  the  greatest 
of  all  is  that  many  book-lovers  have  been  educated  by  his 
Kelmscott  books  to  appreciate  good  print  ing  when  it  is  of- 
fered them,  and  to  be  willing  to  pay  for  it,  even  a  little 
more  they  can  easily  afford.  To  bring  this  about,  as  Morris 
did  for  the  book-lovers  of  his  own  day  was,  at  least  for  a 
time,  to  make  the  publishing  of  fine  books  much  easier, and 
thus,  as  I  have  suggested,  all  the  other  essayists  in  fine 

[  xxxii  ] 


printing  who  were  at  work  within  a  few  years  after  Mor- 
ris's  death  profited  by  his  enterprise.  He  postponed  the  need 
fora  Society  for  the  Encouragement  of  Fine  Printing  and 
very  much  reduced  and  simplified  the  work  which  such  a 
society  should  under  take.  There  is  no  reason  in  societies  be- 
ing formed  to  take  up  work  which  can  be  done  without  their 
aid,  and  Morris  who,  though  his  own  work  went  largely 
unremunerated^was  liberal  in  his  payment  of  other  s^  led 
experimenters  to  hope  that  a  press  for  fine  printing  could 
at  least  be  made  to  pay  its  expenses^  and  leave  a  little  over 
for  its  owner.  By  inspiring  this  hope  Morris  called  new 
presses  into  existence  and  heartened  those  men  who  were 
already  at  work  to  acquire  new  types  and  make  bolder  ex- 
periments. 

Something  has  already  been  said  as  to  those  on  both  sides 
of  the  Channel  whom  his  example  thus  stimulated.  In  Eng- 
land,  a  quarter  of  a  century  after  Morris  s  death,  Mr. 
St.  John  Hornby  s  Ashendene  Press,  which  seems  to  go 
from  strength  to  strength's  the  only  one  founded  under  the 
Kelmscott influence  which  is  still  active.  On  the  other  hand 
quite  a  number  of  young  commercial  printers  are  doing 
admirable  work  which  would  have  been  impossible  thir- 
ty years  ago,  and  the  standard  attained  in  the  technical 
schools  is  almost  tragically  high,  tragically, because  until 
Morris's  ideals  arestill further  popularized  thelads,  when 
they  become  journey  men, are  of  ten  given  no  chance  to  print 
as  well  as  they  can.  In  the  United  States  Mr.  Berkeley 

[  xxxiii  ] 


Updike  is  still  at  work  and  Mr.  Bruce  Rogers,  who  in  a 
'visit  to  England  during  the  W^ar  set  a  new  standard  at 
the  Cambridge  University  Press,  is  in  his  prime,  a  nat- 
ional asset  somewhat  imperfectly  utilized.  Moreover,  as 
in  England,  there  are  other  jirms  which,  though  mainly 
occupied  in  doing  the  work  that  comes  along,  do  it  all  the 
better  because  William  Morris  for  the  last  six  years  of  his 
life  was  a  master  of  their  craft. 

Passing  from  this  spiritual  influence  to  things  which  can 
be  tested  and  measured  there  aref our  points  in  which  Mor- 
ris1 s  practice  can  definitely  be  taken  as  a  guide  and  has  to 
a  considerable  (though  insufficient]  extent, been  so  taken. 
I.  GOOD  INK.  At  the  outset  the  importance  of  this  was 
very  imperfectly  understood  by  his  early  disciples.  They 
saw  that  any  page  printed  by  Morris  looked  rich  and  black, 
instead  of  thin  and  gray,  and  they  tried  to  attain  this  ef- 
fect by  using  types  with  thick  faces  and  crowding  on  ink, 
thus  sacrificing  all  delicacy  of  outline.  It  took  them  some 
time  to  realize  that  whereas  they  were  paying  (in  Eng- 
land] a  few  shillings  a  pound  for  ink, Morris  was  pay  ing 
fifteen, and  that  with  good  ink  there  was  no  need  for  thick 
faced  types  and  heavy  inking.  "The  importance  of  good  ink 
is  now  better  appreciated, but  anyone  who  is  having  a  book 
printed  for  him  will  still  be  wise  to  bind  hi  sprinter  to  pay 
the  market  price  for  a  really  good  ink.  If  this  price  is  paid, 
there  will  be  less  need  to  take  precautions  against  over 
inking.

2.  GOOD  SPACING.  In  a  printed  page  there  are  spaces  be- 
tween letter  and  letter  (caused  by  the  "body"  of  the  type 
being  larger  than  the  "f ace"  ],  between  word  and  word, 
and  between  line  and  line.  Morris  minimized  all  three. 
His  practice  has  been  challenged  by  goodpr  inter  sand  (on 
the  score  of  easier  legibility]  a  case  can  be  argued  for  more 
spacing  than  he  allowed.  But  no  spacing  can  be  right 
which  is  uneven  and  the  coincidence  ofspacesbetween  words 
coming  one  under  the  other  on  several  successive  lines ',  so 
as  to  form  what  printers  call  a  "river"  of  white,  is  one  of 
the  greatest  faults  that  can  disfigure  a  printed  page. 

3 .  THE  PLACING  OF  CAPITALS.  Every  large  initial  letter 
(properly  called  a  capital,as  beginning  a  "  capitulum"  or 
chapter]  ought  to  range  exactly  with  a  given  number  of 
lines  of  the  type  with  which  it  is  used.  If  it  cannot  be  so 

fitted,  it  is  better  to  use  no  ornamental  letters  at  all.  The 
early  printers  understood  this •,  but  their  successor *s,  when 
they  had  capitals  in  stock,  used  them  with  types  with  which 
they  could  not  be  made  to  range,  so  that  the  capital  was 
separated  by  a  white  space  from  the  type  beneath  it.  To 
match  this  white  beneath  the  capital  the  practice  grew  up 
of  leaving  a  corresponding  white  space  separating  the 
capital  from  the  type  at  its  side.  A  "river"  was  thus 
formed  flowing  along  two  sides  of  the  capital  into  the  sea 
of  the  inner  margin.  Moreover, as  it  is  usual  to  print  the 
letters  completing  the  word  begun  by  the  capital  in  majus- 
cules, the  first  of  these  majuscules  was  placed  across  the 

[ XXXV  ] 


river  to  form  a  "bridge"  This  "river"  and  "bridge"  ar- 
rangement, when  Morris  began  to  print ,  was  part  of  the 
practice  even  of  the  best  British  printers  ^though  these  kept 
their  rivers  small \  while  the  bad  printers  rejoiced  to  have 
them  broad.  I  regret  to  say  that  the  "river"  and  "bridge" 
arrangement  may  be  observed  in  the  placing  of  the  beau- 
tiful capitals  which  I  persuaded  Mr.  Laurence  Hous- 
man  to  design  for  "Bibliographical  but  which  by  my  own 
lack  of  foresight  were  not  made  exactly  to  jit  the  type  with 
which  they  were  to  be  used. 

4..  MARGINS.  As  to  these  Morris*  s  practice  was  perfect , 
but  it  must  be  admitted  that  he  darkened  counsel  by  quot- 
ing with  apparent  approval  in  his  "Note" on  the  Kelms- 
cott  Press  the  dictum  of  "the  librarian  of  one  of  our  most 
important  private  libraries"  to  the  effect  that  "the  medi- 
eval rule  was  to  make  a  difference  of  2O  per  cent  from 
margin  to  margin"  The  librarian  in  question  must  have 
formulated  this  rule  from  sadly  cropped  copies.  The  pro- 
portion in  Morris" s  folios  and  octavos  agrees  very  closely 
with  the  fifteenth  century  practice^  where  this  is  studied  in 
uncut  copies  ^and  runs:  Inner  mar  gin  J  ;  Upper  9  ;  Outer 
//*;  Lower  23  ;  whereas  "a  difference  of  2O  per  cent" 
would  change  thesejigures  to  Jz/2;  Q;  !O4/5  ;  IJ.  The  outer 
margin  which  Morris  used  was  thus  nearly  two  and  a 
half  times  the  inner  ^  instead  of  nearly  one  and  a  half  times 
as  in  the  prescription  he  quoted^  and  in  like  manner  the 

*/ff  quartos  the  outer  margin  would  be  1 8  instead  of  i^. 

[  xxxvi  ] 


lower  margin  is  nearly  two  and  a  half  (not  one  and  a 
half]  times  the  outer.  Moreover ',  Morris,  like  all  the  best 
fifteenth  century  printers  adjusted  these  margins  to  type 
pages  of  equally  definite  proportions.  ^Taking  the  height  of 
a  page  as  IOO,  the  height  of  the  type  page  would  be  68 \  or 
very  near  it ,  the  upper  margin  9,  the  lower  23.  Corre- 
sponding to  a  height  of  IOO,  the  breadth  of  the  folio  or  oc- 
tavo page  would  be  68  or  6ty  (about  exactly  the  height  of 
the  type  page),  the  breadth  of  the  type  page  being  4.5  (in  a 
quarto  4.7) ,  the  inner  margin  J,  the  outer  IJ  (in  a  quarto 
1 8}.  I  have  not  measured  all  the  Kelmscott  margins  and 
they  may  vary  for  special  reasons  (e.g.  in  order  not  to 
break  up  the  stanzas  of  a  poem)  but  as  all  the  Kelmscott 
books  are  more  or  less  of  the  same  degree  of  "luxury"  I 
think  the  proportions  here  given  will  be  found  to  apply 
pretty  generally.  Now  for  the  sake  of  greater  luxury ', 
though  greater  luxury  is  not  often  advisable,  the  margins 
may  be  allowed  to  encroach  further  on  the  type  page  by 
some  lOper  cent,  and  if  the  proportions  of  inner  and  outer, 
upper  and  lower  are  observed,thepage  will  still  look  well. 
And  if, for  the  sake  of  greater  economy, instead  of  the  mar- 
gins encroaching  I O  per  cent  on  the  typepage,the  type  page 
is  allowed  to  encroach  I O  percent  on  the  mar  gins, all  may 
still  be  well,  as  long  as  the  proportion  of  the  margins  is 
still  constant  at  7,  g,  17, 23 . 

All  this  may  seem  a  little  complicated  but  the  whole  doc- 
trine of  margins  can  be  summed  up  in  the  simple  rule  that 

[  xxxvii  ] 


the  height  of  the  type  page  should  be  about  equal  to  the 
breadth  of  the  paper  and  the  breadth  of  the  type  page  about 
JO  per  cent  of  the  height  Dinner  and  upper  mar  gins  bearing 
to  outer  and  lower  ones  the  proportion  of  about  two  to  jive. 
On  all  these  four  points  here  set  forth,  the  use  of  good  ink, 
careful  spacing,the  right  placing  of  capita  Island  the  right 
proportions  of  margins,  definite  progress  has  been  made 
since  Morris  began  to  print,  and  any  book- buyer  who 
wishes  to  honour  Morris's  memory  in  a  practical  way  can- 
not do  better  than  use  whatever  influence  he  possesses  with 
book-seller  s,publishers,andprinters  to  pro  test  against  any 
breach  of  his  practice,which  was  the  practice  also  of  all 
the  old  masters  of  the  craft.  Moreover  if  the  book-buyer 
has  any  money  to  spare  he  will  put  it  to  a  good  use  by  en- 
couraging on  a  small  or  on  a  large  scale  the  publishers 
who  give  printers  a  chance  of  doing  good  work,  and  dis- 
couraging those  who  do  not.  Of  course  the  publishers  de- 
serve support  for  the  matter  of  the  books  they  publish  as 
well  as  for  their  form,  but  that  is  another  story, not  my 

present  concern.

BEGAN  printing  books  with  the  hope  of 
producing  some  which  would  have  a  def- 
inite claim  to  beauty,  while  at  the  same 
time  they  should  be  easy  to  read  and 
should  not  dazzle  the  eye,  or  trouble  the 
intellect  of  the  reader  by  eccentricity  of  form  in  the 
letters.  I  have  always  been  a  great  admirer  of  the  cal- 
ligraphy of  the  Middle  Ages,  &  of  the  earlier  printing 
which  tookitsplace.  As  to  the  fifteenth-century  books, 
I  had  noticed  that  they  were  always  beautiful  by  force 
of  the  mere  typography,  even  without  the  added  or- 
nament, with  which  many  of  them  are  so  lavishly  sup- 
plied. And  it  was  the  essence  of  my  undertaking  to 
produce  books  which  it  would  be  a  pleasure  to  look 
upon  as  pieces  of  printing  and  arrangement  of  type. 
Lookingat  my  adventure  from  this  point  of  view  then, 
I  found  I  had  to  consider  chiefly  the  following  things: 
the  paper,  the  form  of  the  type,  the  relative  spacing 
of  the  letters,  the  words,  and  the  lines;  and  lastly  the 
position  of  the  printed  matter  on  the  page. 

It  was  a  matter  of  course  that  I  should  consider  it 
necessary  that  the  paper  should  be  hand-made,  both 
for  the  sake  of  durability  and  appearance.  It  would 
be  a  very  false  economy  to  stint  in  the  quality  of  the 
paper  as  to  price:  so  I  had  only  to  think  about  the  kind 
of  hand-made  paper.  On  this  head  I  came  to  two  con- 
clusions :  i  st,  that  the  paper  must  be  wholly  of  linen 

[3] 


(most  hand-made  papers  are  of  cotton  today"),  and 
must  be  quite  'hard,'  i.  e.,  thoroughly  well  sized ;  and 
2  nd, that, though  it  must  be  'laid'  and  not  'wove'  (i.e., 
made  on  a  mould  made  of  obvious  wires"),  the  lines 
caused  by  the  wires  of  the  mould  must  not  be  too 
strong,  so  as  to  give  a  ribbed  appearance.  I  found  that 
on  these  points  I  was  at  one  with  the  practice  of  the 
papermakers  of  the  fifteenth  century;  so  I  took  as  my 
model  a  Bolognese  paper  of  about  1473.  My  friend 
Mr.  Batchelor,  of  Little  Chart,  Kent,  carried  out  my 
views  very  satisfactorily,&  produced  from  the  first  the 
excellent  paper  which  I  still  use. 

Next  as  to  type.  By  instinct  rather  than  by  conscious 
thinking  it  over,  I  began  by  getting  myself  a  fount  of 
Roman  type.  And  here  what  I  wanted  was  letter  pure 
inform;  severe,without  needless  excrescences;  solid, 
without  the  thickening  and  thinning  of  the  line,which 
is  the  essential  fault  of  the  ordinary  modern  type,and 
which  makes  it  difficult  to  read;  and  not  compressed 
laterally,  as  all  later  type  has  grown  to  be  owing  to 
commercial  exigencies.  There  was  only  one  source 
from  which  to  take  examples  of  this  perfected  Roman 
type,to  wit,  the  works  of  the  great  Venetian  printers  of 
the  fifteenth  century,  of  whom  Nicholas  Jenson  pro- 
duced the  completest  &  most  Roman  characters  from 
1470  to  1476.  This  type  I  studied  with  much  care, 
getting  it  photographed  to  a  big  scale,  &  drawing  it 

[4] 


over  many  times  before  I  began  designing  my  own  let- 
ter; so  that  though  I  think  I  mastered  the  essence  of 
it,  I  did  not  copy  it  servilely;  in  fact,  my  Roman  type, 
especially  in  the  lower  case,  tends  rather  more  to  the 
Gothic  than  does  Jenson's. 

After  a  while  I  felt  that  I  must  have  a  Gothic  as  well 
as  a  Roman  fount;  and  herein  the  task  I  set  myself 
was  to  redeem  the  Gothic  character  from  the  charge 
of  unreadablenesswhichis  commonly  brought  against 
it.  And  I  felt  that  this  charge  could  not  be  reasonably 
brought  against  the  types  of  the  first  two  decades  of 
printing:  that  Schoeffer  at  Mainz,  Mentelin  at  Stras- 
burg,  and  Gunther  Zainer  at  Augsburg,  avoided  the 
spiky  ends  and  undue  compression  which  lay  some  of 
the  later  type  open  to  the  above  charge.  Only  the  ear- 
lier printers  (naturally  following  therein  the  practice 
of  their  predecessors  the  scribes)  were  very  liberal  of 
contractions,andusedan  excess  of  < tied'  letters,which, 
by  the  way,are  very  useful  to  the  compositor.  So  I  en- 
tirely eschewed  contractions,  except  for  the  <&,'  and 
had  very  few  tied  letters,  in  fact  none  but  the  abso- 
lutely necessary  ones.  Keepingmy  end  steadily  in  view, 
I  designed  a  black-letter  type  which  I  think  I  may 
claim  to  be  as  readable  as  a  Roman  one,  and  to  say 
the  truth  I  prefer  it  to  the  Roman.  This  type  is  of  the 
size  called  Great  Primer  (the  Roman  type  is  of  <  Eng- 
lish' size);  but  later  on  I  was  driven  by  the  necessities 

[s] 


of  the  Chaucer  (a  double-columned  book")  to  get  a 
smaller  Gothic  type  of  Pica  size. 

The  punches  for  all  these  types,!  may  mention,were 
cut  for  me  with  great  intelligence  and  skill  by  Mr.  E. 
P.  Prince,  and  render  my  designs  most  satisfactorily. 

Now  as  to  the  spacing:  First,  the  <  face'  of  the  letter 
should  be  as  nearly  conterminous  with  the  <body'  as 
possible,  so  as  to  avoid  undue  whites  between  the  let- 
ters. Next,the  lateral  spaces  between  the  words  should 
be  (a)  no  more  than  is  necessary  to  distinguish  clearly 
the  division  into  words,  and  (b)  should  be  as  nearly 
equal  as  possible.  Modern  printers,  even  the  best,  pay 
very  little  heed  to  these  two  essentials  of  seemly  com- 
position, and  the  inferior  ones  run  riot  in  licentious 
spacing,  thereby  producing,  inter  alia,  those  ugly  riv- 
ers of  lines  running  about  the  page  which  are  such  a 
blemish  to  decent  printing.Third,  the  whites  between 
the  lines  should  not  be  excessive;  the  modern  prac- 
tice of « leading'  should  be  used  as  little  as  possible, 
and  never  without  some  definite  reason,suchas  mark- 
ing some  special  piece  of  printing.  The  only  leading 
I  have  allowed  myself  is  in  some  cases  a  <thin'  lead  be- 
tween the  lines  of  my  Gothic  pica  type :  in  the  Chaucer 
and  the  double-columned  books  I  have  used  a  <hair' 
lead, and  not  even  this  in  the  1 6mo  books.  Lastly, but 
by  no  means  least,  comes  the  position  of  the  printed 
matter  on  the  page.  This  should  always  leave  the  in- 

[6]  ' 


ner  margin  the  narrowest,  the  top  somewhat  wider, 
the  outside  (fore-edge)  wider  still,  and  the  bottom 
widest  of  all.  This  rule  is  never  departed  from  in  me- 
diaeval books,  written  or  printed.  Modern  printers  sys- 
tematically transgress  against  it;  thus  apparently  con- 
tradicting the  fact  that  the  unit  of  a  book  is  not  one 
page,  but  a  pair  of  pages.  A  friend,  the  librarian  of  one 
of  our  most  important  private  libraries,  tells  me  that 
after  careful  testing  he  has  come  to  the  conclusion 
that  the  mediaeval  rule  was  to  make  a  difference  of  2  o 
per  cent,  from  margin  to  margin.  Now  these  matters 
of  spacing  and  position  are  of  the  greatest  importance 
in  the  production  of  beautiful  books;  if  they  are  prop- 
erly considered  they  will  make  a  bookprinted  in  quite 
ordinary  type  at  least  decent  and  pleasant  to  the  eye. 
The  disregard  of  them  will  spoil  the  effect  of  the  best 
designed  type. 

It  was  only  natural  that  I,  a  decorator  by  profession, 
should  attempt  to  ornament  mybooks  suitably:  about 
this  matter,  I  will  only  say  that  I  have  always  tried  to 
keep  in  mind  the  necessity  for  making  my  decoration 
a  part  of  the  page  of  type.  I  may  add  that  in  design- 
ing the  magnificent  and  inimitable  woodcuts  which 
have  adorned  several  of  my  books,  and  will  above  all 
adorn  the  Chaucer  which  is  now  drawing  near  com- 
pletion,my  friend  Sir  Edward  Burne-Jones  has  never 
lost  sight  of  this  important  point,  so  that  his  work  will 

[7] 


not  only  give  us  a  series  of  most  beautiful  and  imagi- 
native pictures,  but  form  the  most  harmonious  dec- 
oration possible  to  the  printed  book.

CONDITION:  Folio. 
FIRST  EDITION. 

A  trial  leaf,  first  printing  (recto  and  verso),  before  the  woodcut  borders, 
large  initials,  and  printing  in  red  had  been  included. 

It  had  been  the  intention  of  Mr.  Morris  to  issue  this  work  in  two  vol- 
umes as  a  worthy  companion  for  the  Chaucer.The  plan  was  finally  aban- 
doned as  announced  in  the  prospectus  of  the  "  Shepheardes  Calender," 
dated  November!  2,  1896.  Thirty-four  pages  were  then  in  type,  but  no 
sheet  had  been  printed.The  type  was  broken  up  on  December  24,  1  896, 
but  before  that  event  thirty-two  copies  of  sixteen  of  these  pages  were 
printed  and  distributed  to  friends  as  a  memento  of  Morris.  The  speci- 
men pages  on  vellum  were  of  later  inspiration  and  the  initials  show  dis- 
tinct differences.

"  MY  DEAR  FELLOW, 

"A  traveller  once  entered  a  western  hotel  in  America  and  went  up  to  the 

clerk  in  his  box  (as  the  custom  is  in  that  country)  and  ordered  chicken 

[67] 


The  Library  of  William  Andrews  Clark,  Jr. 

for  his  dinner:  the  clerk  without  any  trouble  in  his  face,  put  his  hand 
into  his  desk,  and  drew  out  a  derringer, wherewith  he  covered  the  new- 
comer and  said  in  a  calm  historic  voice :  Stranger,  you  will  not  have 
chicken,  you  will  have  hash. 

"  This  story  you  seem  to  have  forgotten.  So  I  will  apply  it,  and  say  that 
you  will  have  the  Kelmscott  books  as  they  come  out.  In  short  you  will 
have  hash  because  it  would  upset  me  very  much  if  you  did  not  have  a 
share  in  my'larx.' 

"As  to  the  Olaf  Saga,  I  had  forgotten  what  you  had  had;  chiefly  I  think 
because  I  did  not  prize  the  big-paper  copies  much. They  were  done  in 
the  days  of  ignorance,  before  the  Kelmscott  Press  was,  though  hard  on 
the  time  when  it  began. 

"You  see  as  to  all  these  matters  I  do  the  books  mainly  for  you  and  one 
or  two  others ;  the  public  does  not  really  care  about  them  a  damn— which 
is  stale.  But  I  tell  you  I  want  you  to  have  them,  and  finally  you  shall. 
Yours  affectionately, William  Morris."

In  this  essay  the  small  initial "  B  "  differs  with  the  one  which  was  finally 
adopted.  The  text  of  the  first  line  reads,"  That  Aprille  whit  his  shoures

lished work.

Another  trial  essay  of  the  first  leaf.The  first  line  of  the  text  reads,"  That

work.The  ornamental  decorations  agree,as  also  do  the  capitals  with  the 
exception  of  the  fourth  on  the  verso.

to  attack  the  problem  of  Typography  as 
presented  by  ordinary  Books  in  the  var- 
ious forms  of  Prose,  Verse,  and  Dialogue 
and,keeping  always  in  view  the  principles 
laid  down  in  the  Book  Beautiful,  to  attempt  its  solu- 
tion by  the  simple  arrangement  of  the  whole  Book,  as 
a  whole,  with  due  regard  to  its  parts  and  to  the  emphasis 
of  its  capital  divisions  rather  than  by  the  addition  & 
splendour  of  applied  ornament. 

II 

The  Books  selected  for  this  purpose  have  been  chos- 
en partly  for  the  sake  of  the  particular  typographical 
problems  presented  by  them,but  partly  also  in  view  of 
the  second  obj  eel:  of  the  Press,viz.,to  print  in  asuitable 
form  some  of  the  great  literary  achievements  of  man's 
creative  or  constructive  genius.  To-day  there  is  an  im- 
mense reproduction  in  forms  at  once  admirable  & 
cheap  of  all  books  which  in  any  language  have  stood 
the  test  of  time.  But  such  reproduction  is  not  a  substi- 
tute for  the  more  monumental  production  of  the  same 
books,and  such  a  production,  expressive  of  man's  ad- 
miration,is  a  legitimate  ambition  of  the  Printing  Press 
&  of  some  Press  the  imperative  duty.

of  English  Literature,  if  not  of  English  thought.  On 
theother hand  PARADISE  LOST-«aunique mon- 
ument of  the  English  language"— is  a  sublime  attempt 
of  English  Puritanism  to  "justifie  the  wayes  of  God 
to  men."  FAUST  reopens  the  eternal  debate  between 
the  unseen  and  the  seen, the  finite  &  the  infinite:  and 
SARTORRESARTUS,EMERSON'SESSAYS,and 
UNTO  THIS  LAST  are  attempts  to  transform  the 
EVERLASTING  NO  of  scepticism  into  the  EVER- 
LASTING YEA  of  affirmation,  and  amid  the  inex- 
plicable and  enshrouding  mysteries  of  the  infinite— 
of  God,  of  Nature,  and  of  the  Soul  — to  set  man  again 
at  work  upon  the  creation  of  the  Fit,  the  Seemly,  and 
the  Beautiful.  MEN  &  WOMEN  and  DRAMATIS 
PERSON  AE  are  poetical  presentments  of  the  same 
positive  position. These  works  together  constitute  the 
main  argument  of  the  selection.  Other  like  sequences 
are  the  POEMS  and  PLAYS  of  SHAKESPEARE, 
preluded  by  the  earlier  imagined  PERVIGILIUM 
VENERIS,andthePOEMSofGOETHE,WORDS- 
WORTH,SHELLEY,&  KEATS. 

HUMBOLDT'S  COSMOS, which  I  had  intended 
to  print,  I  have  abandoned.  It  was  too  great  an  en- 
terprise for  The  Doves  Press  under  present  circum- 
stances. But  I  have  retained  the  name,COSMOS,in 
the  Catalogue  and  have  affixed  to  it  an  asterisk  to  in- 
dicate that  its  place  is  vacant.  In  some  happier  time 

[so] 


perhaps,  when  man  is  again  at  peace  with  man,  the 
COSMOS  will  be  re-imagined  and,  monumentally 
printed  at  some  future  Press,  be  placed,  as  it  should 
be  placed,  at  the  front  of  all  human  thought  and.  as- 
piration. 

IV 

But  beyond  the  immediate  purposes  of  the  Press  — 
the  solution  of  typographical  problems  and  the  mon- 
umental presentment  of  some  of  the  literary  creations 
of  genius— there  has  always  been  another  and  a  much 
greater  purpose,  of  which  workmanship  achieved  in 
the  great  fields  of  literary  creation  and  its  incorpora- 
tion in  printed  forms  may,like  other  obj  eels  of  crafts- 
manship, be  a  Prefatory  Note,  an  Illustration,  &  an 
Encouragement— the  Workmanship  of  Life  in  Life 
itself,  and  its  embodiment  in  forms  of  life  which  shall 
be  as  beautiful  in  life  as,  in  imagination,  are  the  happi- 
est inventions  of  imaginative  genius.  This  workman- 
ship of  life  in  life  it  was  sought  to  advance,  in  however 
slight  adegree,and  to  illustrate  in  the  workmanship  of 
the  Press :  a  workmanship  of  life  than  all  we  can  imag- 
ine immeasurably  more  important,for  immeasurably 
more  important  than  all  that  we  can  imagine  is  the 
Reality  of  Reality, the  Reality  which  is  Life.  In  the  be- 
ginning God  created  Life,  and  the  Life  was  with  God, 
and  the  Life  was  God.  And  it  is  this  Life,  this  Life  of 
each  and  of  all  of  us,which  in  the  language  of  the  Press 

[81] 


we  must  COMPOSE,and  in  the  language  of  the  Pub- 
lisher PUBLISH,  y 

It  was  thus  that,in  printing,  and  binding,  Books,  not 
Books  alone  were  the  obj  e£t  of  the  Press,  but  the  cre- 
ation, as  by  another  hand  are  created  the  flowers  of 
the  field  and  of  the  hedgerows,  of  something  of  that 
Order  and  of  that  Beauty  which,  on  the  great  scale,  it 
is  the  business  of  life  on  the  great  scale  to  create;  as 
it  has  been  the  business  of  the  unseen  on  a  great  scale 
to  create  the  universe.  This  creation  of  life  on  the  great 
scale  ofgreat  thingshas  been  theultimate  obj  eel:  aimed 
at  by  similitude  in  the  creation  of  the  small  things 
which  have  been  the  creation  of  the  Press. 

VI 

Nor  does  life  on  the  great  scale  cease  with  its  crea- 
tion. But  as  the  creation  of  books,printed  and  bound, 
passes,  as  a  seed  for  the  sowing,  into  life  on  the  great 
scale,  so  shall  life  on  the  great  scale, 

The  Clowd-captTowres,  the  gorgeous  Pallaces, 
The  solemne  Temples,  the  great  Globe  itself, 

yea,theveryuniverseandallwhichitinherit,becarried 
over,  itself  only  a  seed  for  the  sowing,  into  infinitude, 
and,  on  the  tides  of  eternity,  so  for  ever  on,  before  the 
ever-expanding  gaze  of  man. 

VII 

In  my  penultimate  farewell  in  1913  I  said  that  in 

' 


closing  the  Press  I  should  devote  myself  to  "far  other 
tasks."  In  a  sense  this  will  be  true :  but  essentially  my 
interests  in  life  and  in  life's  tasks  will  remain  the  same, 
thoughprobablyagreatsilencewillnowtaketheplace 
of  The  Doves  Press,agreat  silence  that  I  may  themore 
intimately  listen  to  and  perhaps  overhear  the  voice  — 
which  indeed  is  never  silent,  if  seldom  listened  for  or 
distinguished  amid  the  wild  and  unintelligible  strife 
whichis  man's  life  to-day— the  voice  which  is  the  aspira- 
tion of  the  universe  and,in  a  great  silence,is  addressed 
to  the  soul.  In  this  silence,listening,even  now  I  seem 
to  see  arise  on  the  far  horizon  of  life's  long  vigil  the 
shining  summits  of  a  great  new  world— a  great  new  or- 
der touched  with  beau  ty  and  inflamed  with  a  great  de- 
light—man's  ultimate  and  infinite  ideal.  And  with  this 
New  World  trembling  into  life  I  put-to  the  shutters 
and  close  the  doors  of  the  Press,  and,  turning  the  key 
in  the  lock,  bid  farewell  to  THE  DOVES  PRESS  - 
for  ever.  VTTT 

In  thus  saying  farewell  to  the  Press  I  say  it  also,  a 
grateful  farewell,  to  all  who  have  assisted  the  Press, 
have  encouraged  it,  worked  for  it,  subscribed;  friends 
and  fellow-craftsmen,  known  and  unknown,  to  all 

FAREWELL.
